What To Do This Weekend, April 24-27

London post-punks Factory Floor take more cues from Throbbing Gristle than The Dance (think more discordant electronic than boogying), but the group’s formation have been affiliated with the sleeker names of the genre (New Order, Liars and Sonic Youth – not that we’re name-dropping). Tonight they’re performing with hometown heroes Protect-U.

Who particularly cares if this evening’s offering features earworm “Let It Go” and an anthropomorphic snowman? For the next few weeks, it’s drive-in movie season at Union Market! Arrive on foot, bike, or via public transportation and park for free, or roll up the traditional way and chalk up $10 to park. The movie begins at 8 p.m. Bring snacks or grab a drink from Suburbia, the astroturf-dwelling pop-up beer-serving camper that lives outside of Union Market during the warmer months.

From the city’s most legendary local literary institution comes a trivia night fit for the most bookish of bargoers: Nerd Night Trivia! Potential questions include “How many rings were forged by Sauron in J.R.R. Tolkein’s Middle Earth?” and “Excluding monuments, what is the tallest building in DC?”

Conceptual lifestyle craft emporium Topaz + Arrow returns to the Ulysses Room this Sunday with its April workshop. For a scant $37.50, we can learn how to craft a cherry blossom-adorned paper latern—and our DIY will be accented with victuals from Boulevard Brewing.
